Offroading in an EV?

Rugged Off Road Electric Vehicles

A not so recent post over at Restyling Mag discussed the potential for EVs (electric vehicles) to enter and, hopefully, someday rule the off-road roost now dominated by gas hogs such as Jeep and Land Rover.

I’m excited about the possibilities here but disheartened by the fact that many Americans and consumers worldwide just aren’t taking heed of not only the need for EVs environmentally but their advantages (as this piece highlights). Unfortunately, in a recent article here: http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/22/5236698/doe-predicts-electric-vehicle… the US Dept of Energy predicts that by 2040 the majority of vehicles on US roads will stll use gas.
